Chapter 1128: Chapter 1119: The Final Tribulation
"How... how should I repay you now?"
Wanyuan Dao Ancestor asked cautiously, while the Ghost Mother of Ephemera, Hongqian Ancestor, and Great Profound Yin Dominator were also curious, all turning their gaze to Gu An.
Gu An looked at the surface of the lake beside him, saying, "Chaos is about to reach a higher level, and there will be more and more Saints, which will inevitably cause disorder. At the same time, someone needs to pave the way to higher paths, and that responsibility falls on you. It’s just as well that you are reluctant to return, fearing to implicate your Dao Universe."
Upon hearing Gu An’s last words, Wanyuan Dao Ancestor felt a bit embarrassed. However, he did not object to Gu An’s arrangement; he was just a bit worried.
"But... am I in any state to handle such a task?" Wanyuan Dao Ancestor hesitated. The curse upon him tortured him greatly, leaving him unsure of how to remove it.
He was barely holding on with the help of the Saint’s Body, as his Cultivation Level had already dissipated.
Gu An glanced at Wanyuan Dao Ancestor and waved his sleeve directly at him. A refreshing breeze rushed towards him, instinctively causing him to close his eyes. Following that, his whole body trembled, and he felt his physical form become lighter.
When he opened his eyes again, he appeared delighted as his Qi Power rapidly recovered, and the Saint’s Magical Power began to surge once more.
Even though his mana had been abolished, with his Dao Practice, even starting over, the speed of his growth was remarkably fast. In less than three breaths, the Ghost Mother of Ephemera felt a tremendous threat, and Hongqian Ancestor and Great Profound Yin Dominator also felt the pressure.
Wanyuan Dao Ancestor’s condition rapidly restored. He stood up, steam rising from his body, his long hair drying quickly. Soon, he eliminated his disheveled appearance, reverting to the true form of a Taoist Ancestor. Behind him, golden orbs hovered, forming small suns, eighteen in number, which surrounded him in a vertical circle. At the center, a White Jade Gourd floated, with a piece of Immortal Herb, resembling a reed, inserted in its mouth.
With the Dharma Aspect presented, his entire demeanor changed significantly, as if he were a different person, instinctively commanding reverence from the three around him.
Thinking such a transcendent being was reeled in by Gu An, they all felt it was absurd.
After restoring his condition, Wanyuan Dao Ancestor felt everything was back as it should be; he was still the omnipotent Taoist Ancestor.
However, when his eyes turned to Gu An, he quickly calmed down again.
He managed to recover thanks to this being before him.
"What should I do?"
Wanyuan Dao Ancestor didn’t indulge in ceremonies of gratitude but directly asked Gu An, ready to repay him.
During this process, he duly could organize his Dao Heart, regain his confidence, and find it hard to settle his mind recalling the past experiences.
"As I mentioned earlier, but you must not reveal it was arranged by me. Just give me a chance to witness the means of a Dao Ancestor; you can go now," Gu An replied with a soft smile.
Wanyuan Dao Ancestor nodded and subsequently disappeared from the spot.
Hongqian Ancestor couldn’t help but ponder, "Indeed, having Cultivation Level and not having Cultivation Level makes a world of difference."
He had witnessed such circumstances many times; he wasn’t mocking but genuinely considering, as it was typically the case with him as well.
Wanyuan Dao Ancestor’s aura made him anticipate the forthcoming chaos and ponder what kind of storms this Taoist Ancestor might stir up?
Gu An stretched lazily, turned, and departed, speaking as he walked, "The Ghost Mother has completed her breakthrough; let’s move on to another place for leisure."
The Great Profound Yin Dominator rose to fetch luggage, while the Hongqian Ancestor went to fetch the horses. The Ghost Mother of Ephemera quickly came to Gu An’s side and asked, "Master, what do you plan regarding the evil force that person just mentioned?"
Gu An gazed straight ahead and asked, "What do you think I should do?"
"Let it be. That guy isn’t even clear about the pattern of that power’s actions, which makes it akin to a natural disaster in the Human World. Since it can’t be predicted, why rush to deal with it?" the Ghost Mother of Ephemera sincerely responded.
To her, it seemed to be Wanyuan Dao Ancestor’s tribulation, unrelated to Chaos.
Gu An had no reason to help Wanyuan Dao Ancestor solve his predicament.
Without Gu An drawing out Wanyuan Dao Ancestor, they wouldn’t even be aware of this matter, thus feeling less pressured.
"Hmm, I don’t want to manage it either. It indeed is distant from chaos, rest assured. I can assure you, before you become a Saint, that power won’t threaten Chaos," Gu An casually said.
The Ghost Mother of Ephemera’s eyes widened, asking tremblingly, "I, too, can become a Saint?"
Immense joy surged within her, making her feel as if she were floating.
Who is Gu An?
An existence transcending Saints!
If he says someone can become a Saint, then they can!
She didn’t question Gu An; she merely felt undeserving.
Too many people are on good terms with Gu An, and she is just a servant. How can she become a Saint?
Gu An didn’t continue the conversation; he found little interest in encouraging the Ghost Mother of Ephemera, figuring she’d become a Saint effortlessly anyway.
The Ghost Mother of Ephemera also realized her question might have been overly sentimental. She took a deep breath, falling a step behind but looked at Gu An with gratitude brimming from her eyes.
Having just ascended to Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal, receiving such delightful news made her feel like the luckiest person in the world.
"By the way, Master, what about Qing Feng and Ming Yue? Are you utterly leaving them be?" The Ghost Mother of Ephemera suddenly remembered and asked again.
"They are undergoing tribulation, and just now, that person was the final hurdle I arranged for them."
Gu An’s response came unexpectedly to the Ghost Mother of Ephemera.
Having a Saint as the ultimate trial seemed overly harsh, was it not?
"Really, that’s great then. I sensed that person could indeed temper them," Hongqian Ancestor came up, leading a horse, speaking with a teasing smile; he even began to look forward to that confrontation.
The Ghost Mother of Ephemera started chatting with him about Qing Feng and Ming Yue, while Gu An’s thoughts drifted towards the future.
This time, he wasn’t seeing someone else’s future; he was seeing his own.
He, too, was about to have a breakthrough!
He was curious about what a higher realm of insight would be like.
Additionally, should he use the Life Span Breakthrough to teleport to a place of absolute safety for his next breakthrough?
What if the evil force Wanyuan Dao Ancestor mentioned targets him?
It’s best to be cautious!
...
Time flies like an arrow, and the Heavenly Dao encountered no major upheavals. Constant fortune emerged across worlds, with more new worlds appearing.
It’s worth mentioning how the Heavenly Dao and Chaos began to merge, increasing interactions rather than clashing like water and fire, while many Secret Realms emerged within Chaos, drawing Dao Cultivators on adventures from the Heavenly Dao.
Within the Heavenly Dao, ongoing rises of geniuses and Great Powers made Daoist Lineage contests a main theme of the new Era.
The most dazzling presence was Wanyuan Dao Ancestor himself, who claimed to have existed before the Heavens and Earth were created. He traversed All Heavens and Myriad Realms, spreading Daoist Technique, rapidly elevating his saintly name.
All beings revered him, yearning to meet him, while the Celestial Court felt troubled by it.
Xuanqing Star Monarch made several attempts to recruit Wanyuan Dao Ancestor but was repeatedly turned down, necessitating a trip to the Merit Divine Horse Heavenly Palace to seek out Gu An.
Seeking Gu An, he had come multiple times, and finally, this time, he managed to encounter him.
